Tease Revealed!

Remember I teased you with a sneak peek here? Today is the reveal! I've had the wonderful pleasure of being a "Supreme pattern tester" for Stephanie at Loft Creations again! This time it was a dual task! Here are Ladyfingers on the left and Sugar Baby! These were a lot of fun to make! I decided to go out of the box on fabrics. For the Dresdens on Ladyfingers below I used my favorite new Fall fabric, Gobble Gobble by Sandy Gervais. The body of the bag is - believe it or not - Holly Jolly! It just happened to coordinate well, so why not, I said! Each Dresden tip is held down by a little glass bead and I used a King Tut variegated quilting thread for the stitching. The back is identical to the front.On Sugar Baby below I used my charm pack of Authentic for the Dresdens and Dinosaurs by Michele Wojcicki for the body. I also used the Dinosaur fabric for the inner border and binding on my Halloween stitchery. I decided to alternate green and black beads to hold down the Dresdens. If you haven't already been there, please check out Stephanie's bags at Loft Creations! I am continually amazed at her sense of design and whimsy!
